Expert Views:
The UK smart insole market is leading the way in the invisible wearables industry, where the device collects information automatically using the user’s own footwear. According to experts, the next ten years will bring a shift from reactive monitoring to predictive diagnosis, allowing AI-powered devices to warn of a person falling and/or developing a diabetic foot problem a week prior to the symptom manifestation. Facing severe challenges in meeting the country's healthcare needs, the smart device is a cost-efficient means of remote monitoring and transforms ordinary footwear into a constant health monitoring system. With the advent of 5G networks and sensors, the UK will continue to be the central market for high-value-added smart footwear through 2035.
